Covenant theology- a Calvinist conceptual overview and interpretive framework for understanding the overall flow of the Bible. It uses the theological concept of a covenant as an organizing principle for Christian theology.

The Catholic Church holds to something similar, but also a bit like the opposite side of the same coin. It ties into much of the mayhem between Catholicism vs Protestantism, and is not something one can figure out by 'giving verses'. In fact, it gets old having people always using vestiges of scripture to scrutinize entire sweeping dogmas. It's not so simple and all you end up doing half the time is creating 'legal fictions'.

Hi and you are not a NEW COVENANT THEOLOGIAN ??

Sl what do you believe concerning SALVATIOIN and How do you believe one becomes SAVED with verses ??

'Covenant' theology is proper theology, don't labor under 'Dispensationalism'- come back to real, historical Christianity instead of listening to some guy at the podium selling you a rapture and all that is convenient.
God does not operate in such a way, the MADist god is an entirely different one.

Christ preached "The Kingdom Message" to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, as did Peter and the rest. When Paul came along he was made "The Apostle to the Gentiles", and he preached "The Grace Gospel" to the Gentiles. That's a simple truth. Most of you cannot seem to comprehend it.

Today, only "The Grace Gospel" is in effect for both the Jews and the Gentiles.

Sorry, I had to rush out yesterday, I've just remembered your post. I mean that I take the teachings in the Bible to myself, I don't just think that Jesus and his apostles are speaking only to a collective audience. I believe that that are speaking to each of us individually.

It's easy to say, that's for them, and not for us. But I say is it I lord, is it for me, and I go back to Jesus and the apostles to see their example and their teachings and see what they would do or say, and I apply that to myself, I also go to Gods people around me, I have even heard things from some on here and I know it was for me, to put me right! Once in particular someone spoke about forgiveness, and it moved me because of something wrong I'd just done, and I told the person how they had helped me, and I knew it was from God.

I know in my heart that God wants our heart cleansed, not just left dirty and just saying we believe with our mouths as many do. So I take everything myself first and foremost. I can't talk to others about the things of God, if I'm not living right before him myself.

the Gospel is inside the offer to Israel about the kingdom, which did come and was not a Judaistic theocracy. The term is actually 'reign.' Christ was about to be enthroned, and was, as found in Ps 2, at the resurrection, which also took place because of his redemptive sacrifice.

You are imposing 2P2P on the NT which is not there at all. It is actually a unified message, as found through all the letters etc.

To repeat, here are some reasons we know the redemptive Gospel of Christ was being preached already:
1, they knew Christ was the 'Lamb' of God. Hard to miss the significance of that title in that decade!
2, they knew very soon that Christ had and proved the authority to forgive sins
3, they knew that the 'cross' they were going to take up was the preaching of his cross in the well-known 'if any many would follow me, he must...' verses
4, they knew the dynamic of grace was in operation very early because the disreputable women episodes were about how 'those forgiven much love much' vs the Pharisee mentality.
5, they knew fairly soon that Christ referred to his upcoming event as an 'exodus'--that would be a new one, just as everything else in Judaism was being rendered new.

These are all simple truths that you GM cannot seem to comprehend.

There is no indication at all of a theocratic, Judaistic, temple- or Jerusalem-based kingdom. That is a misguided belief the masses grew up with and tried to impose on him, which he refused, as in Jn 5 and 12:34.

Those who do become missionaries of his Gospel (see the middle of Rom 10) do go on to 'reign in life' and to be 'more than conquerors' as Romans says, but very few from Israel believed.

No! What I can't seem to "comprehend" is, how ignorant you are of the truth of the Grace Gospel, as preached by The Apostle Paul? I'll venture a guess, though. I think you're not a member of the Body of Christ? I can see, you have NO Spiritual discernment and lack the ability to "Rightly Divide" the written word of God. That's my Hypothesis.
